The Saturday before Easter I decided to do something I had not done since moving back in December of 2025: I went people watching. Most days, after I finish work, I am so exhausted I do not do much of anything besides eat and go to...
Thank Goodness You’re Here (For the avoidance of doubt you should read what follows in a vaguely Yorkshire accent). This game is so daft. Set in t’fictional town of Barnsworth, Thank Goodness You’re Here is a reet send-up and celebration...
Better Models: Worse Tools A very strange Pi issue sent me down a rabbit hole over the last two days. The short version is that newer Claude models sometimes call Pi’s edit tool with extra, invented fields in the nested edits[] array....
This is an article from a Silesian newspaper, originally in the Silesian language, about my great grandfather. The journalist while researching did interview my grandmothers sister. English translation below. Paul (Polish: Paweł) Zimnol...
It’s common for a table design to feature alternating row colors, which is pretty trivial to accomplish with CSS. But then if you need to hide some rows later, the striped background gets all messed up. Or at least it used to. It turns...
I’ve been thinking about AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) a lot over the last few days. After working as a PHP developer at a company back in 2009 and then moving to New Zealand to do a PG Diploma in Computer Science, I remember...

I recently read Klara and the Sun, my third Ishiguro novel. Halfway through, my impatience got the better of me; I was ready to label this the worst Ishiguro novel I've ever read. But I eventually came around. While Klara lacks the...
There is a trick that is spreading through social media. If you block the claude user on GitHub, then each time you visit a GitHub repository that has commits by this user you get a banner at the top alerting you of the user's...
Step aside, phone! Yesterday evening, as I was browsing some of the blogs I enjoy reading, I stumbled upon the post “Step aside, phone” by Manu, who started a challenge open to anyone interested: For almost two years now, I’ve been...
I think measuring my success as a leader is simple: everyone on my team should experience the high of feeling really good at what they do. If this is the case, we'll deliver what the business needs us to deliver. Our employees will grow,...
Pointed Claude Cowork at two Japanese lease applications in Excel. It asked me a few questions, then filled both perfectly. (Better than I could—when I did the same via Excel for macOS, I broke the lookup formulas.) Welcome to the...
Last weekend, I played a fun little indie game called Real Life Soft Lock Picking. To play, just lose your phone, wallet, and keys all at the same time. You will then be soft locked: despite every system in the world working as intended,...
